Well this has drawn some interesting conclusions. I hope you liked reading about it as much as I liked testing it. link It looked nice, anyway.

Thanks, guys. Man, that's a lot of cav. Seljuks didn't generally field infantry for field battles. I bought, and painted, over 200 infantry for my Seljuk army – for the period roughly 1100 – 1150 AD. For re-fighting historical battles I now consider them a waste of time and money. I should have either bought more cavalry, or invested the money into infantry for a Fatimid Egyptian army (such as Sudanese). Having said that, battles featuring infantry are generally more fun – so for non-historical scenarios and campaigns they were worth every hour and penny. It's a good job I'm not a nitpicking purist. One day I will do a Fatimid extras conversion project (mainly Sudanese infantry, Bedouin and Berber cavalry), but at the same time I'll also increase my Crusaders and add half a dozen more Turcoman horse archer units. I was planning to add sieges to the mix but I don't have the storage room. |
